How to switch from Quizlet to Anki

Checked against the official docs on

Export your Quizlet sets if the free export still works for your account, or copy terms manually, then import into Anki as a shared deck or CSV.

Quizlet's export options depend on your plan and region. Anki uses its own deck format; expect to rebuild some rich study modes by hand.

  1. Check Quizlet export

    Open each set and look for export/print options allowed on your plan; copy text if export is blocked.

  2. Install Anki

    Download Anki desktop from apps.ankiweb.net and create a profile.

  3. Import

    Use File → Import with a CSV (Front,Back) or import a shared .apkg deck.

  4. Tune the scheduler

    Start with default settings; adjust new cards/day so reviews stay manageable.

  5. Optional sync

    Create an AnkiWeb account to sync to AnkiDroid or AnkiMobile.

Watch out for

  • AnkiMobile on iOS is a paid app; Android's AnkiDroid is free.
  • Quizlet Learn/Test modes do not map 1:1 — use Anki's review grades instead.
